About Me

Generate your own contact table!


My name is James Hardy. I play drums in a death metal band by the name of Submerged In Dirt. Please check us out.
If you like what you hear, please come to one of our upcoming shows:
I am a hard worker and am dedicated to one day, hopefully, playing drums for a living. Thats my dream anyway. I believe that you have to work hard and do every little thing you can to progress if you want to even consider making it. I practice constantly, probly too much, because I am obsessed.
With my current band, Submerged In Dirt, I've had the pleasure of opening for national acts, All Shall Perish, Misery Index, As Blood Runs Black, Burn in Silence, Dying Fetus, Cephalic Carnage, Devildriver, 36 Crazyfists, Napalm Death, Goatwhore, Kataklysm, Skeleton Witch, Year Of Desolation, The Faceless, Intronaut, Fuck The Facts, Knights of the Abyss, Unmerciful, Moria, Becoming the Archetype, With Blood Comes Cleansing, Within Chaos, Impending Doom, Elysia, The Destro, and The Human Abstract.
I am also the Installer Service Specialist @ O'Reilly Auto Parts here in Wilburton. I'm the coolest parts dude in town, or at least I think so.I have a wonderful and supportive wife, Ashley. She is the love of my life.I have a son named Bryce. He is 6 years old and likes basically the same music I do. His favorite bands are, Machine Head, Revis, Kings X, Despised Icon, Arch Enemy, Strapping Young Lad (loves Devin Townsend), Rook, In Flames. He's becoming quite the drummer as well.
